It may have been new creative director Jonathan Anderson’s first women’s show for the house of Dior, but BTS’ Park Jimin was the one who sent the crowd into a frenzy.

Thousands of fans waited for hours in the sun outside the venue, holding signs, banners and balloons — chanting, screaming and hoping to catch a glimpse of the star.

“I think it will be fun, because it’s been a while. More than two years,” Jimin told WWD. The BTS main dancer has been serving mandatory military service in the South Korean army since 2023 and was discharged in June. “I have high expectations.”

Monica Barbaro had arguably the best seat in the house right next to Jimin. The flurry of photographers surrounding him was a bit overwhelming for the actress.

“I was warned, and by that I mean to calm down,” she joked. The actress listened to BTS on the way to the show venue at the Jardin des Tuileries to get in the mood. She admitted she’s not a K-pop expert, but gets into it when she needs a jolt of pre-fashion show energy.

She couldn’t attend when “Top Gun: Maverick” premiered in Seoul, but she’s been “dying to check it out” ever since.

Barbaro has attended several Dior shows and was named a brand ambassador last February. But she met Dior’s new creative director via Luca Guadagnino, while working on his upcoming film “Artificial.” Anderson did the costumes for the film.

“There couldn’t be a better way to meet the creative director of the brand you’re an ambassador of,” she said. “It was just such a wildly luxurious experience to get to meet him at Luca’s home, and he also just made it very comfortable immediately. Luca is such a good cook, and we all had a great time working on the film.”

Filming wrapped two weeks ago in Italy, and the release date remains to be seen.

Juliette Binoche did recently make a trip to South Korea, to promote her documentary film “In-I In Motion” at the Busan Film Festival. Binoche, who has been friends with Anderson since he took the reins at Loewe, has been making the festival circuit including San Sebastian, Spain, as well as an appearance at the film school in Beijing, and is off to Rio de Janeiro on Thursday and then Morelia, Mexico, to promote her directing debut.

Greta Lee was the first ambassador Anderson appointed when he joined the house, an honor Lee called “overwhelming.”

“I am just so proud and so excited. I feel like I am at my own wedding and prom and bar mitzvah, and I just cannot be happier,” she said.

“I don’t even have enough time to express my deep love and gratitude to him, just for being alive, for existing and for all of the contributions he’s made, not only to fashion, but to art at large. And it’s also just great to have a fellow cohort in terms of our creative minds and the things that we’re interested in,” she said.

She debuted Anderson’s Dior in Venice with “House of Dynamite” and will be hitting the red carpet for “Tron: Ares” in October, and is planning a Dior wardrobe (a Dior-drobe?) for the press tour.

Rashida Jones was caught in the frenzy backstage waiting to greet Anderson, and trying to find a spot outside of the rush.

She has liked the K-pop tunes she’s heard but was feeling measured. The crowd’s constant roar could still be heard inside the venue.

“But I don’t think I’m this level of fan,” she said.

“When you hear this, you feel like you’ve never been a fan of anything in your entire life. It’s really like ‘peak level’ fan,” she said. Is there any group she’d scream this loud for? “I’m really a ’90s girl, so it would probably be Jodeci for me.”

Jones was in an Anderson original, before it even hit the runway, in a velvet blazer embroidered with spring-y flowers. “I love it, it makes me so happy,” she said.

Tracee Ellis Ross is prepping for a second season of her travel show “Solo Traveling,” in which she travels, well, solo.

Her favorite part of the experience was the way it connected with people. “The response was my favorite part,” she said. “More people identified with it than I think I imagined [beforehand]. And it was more than just a woman traveling alone. I think it was, and is, a show that’s less about travel and more about how you can be yourself out in the world.”

Charlize Theron made a late entrance, while other guests including Jennifer Lawrence, Mikey Madison, Johnny Depp and Jisoo entered into Anderson’s new world.

After the show, Jimin waited for the show guests to disperse before emerging on the front steps to greet the crowd of fans for which his presence was the main event.
